Iran seeks to impose passage fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Early on the morning of the 26th local time, the chairman of the Civil Committee of the Iranian Islamic Parliament stated, "We are seeking a bill that can both legally safeguard Iran's sovereignty, control, and regulatory rights over the Strait of Hormuz, and generate revenue for the country through toll collection." It is understood that a draft bill has been prepared, but it has not yet reached the stage of a complete plan. It will be submitted to the Parliamentary Research Center next week for refinement with the participation of the legal team, and will be submitted and followed up after the parliamentary session. According to the bill, Iran will collect tolls from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. (CCTV)
